On the Day of Arafah, rain is expected in some areas in Saudi Arabia. Will the rain include Mecca and ease the scorching heat for the pilgrims to the House of God?

Arab Weather - The National Center of Meteorology in Saudi Arabia issued the expected weather forecast for Thursday, Dhu al-Hijjah 9, 1446 AH. The center reported the possibility of thunderstorms in Jazan, Asir, and Al-Baha, with the possibility of them extending to the southern parts of the highlands of the Makkah region.

As for the rest of the Kingdom, weather forecasts indicate that the weather will be stable and hot, God willing, with dust-raising winds expected in parts of Medina, Mecca, Riyadh, and the Eastern Province, extending to parts of the northern border.

Today, Thursday, pilgrims to the Sacred House of God perform the greatest pillar of Hajj, which is standing on Mount Arafat. Pilgrims ascend Mount Arafat from noon until sunset on the Day of Arafat, supplicating to God and hoping for His mercy and forgiveness.
